Since most women are smaller and lighter than men they do not require as large a snowshoe. Women also have a narrower stride / gait. To accommodate this difference Yukon Charlie’s tapers the tails of the women’s models and allows for a smaller boot size to fit comfortably and securely in the binding.

Yukon Charlie feels that the binding is the most important component of the snowshoe; it must be comfortable durable and easy to get in and out of. The strap and buckle binding on our Trail Series snowshoes has stood the test of time by being one of the strongest and easy to use in the industry. Our more advanced Quick Clik II ratchet binding system offered on our Pro-Guide Series snowshoes is well respected for its comfort, efficiency and strength.

Since snowshoeing is an aerobic activity it is common to warm up quickly while doing it, therefore, it is important to dress in layers allowing you the option to take off clothes when necessary, so not to overheat, and to put clothes on when necessary, so not to get chilled. Gaiters are also a recommended accessory that keeps snow from getting in the top of your boots and helps keep feet dry.

Poles are not required but they are recommended. Using poles with bales or baskets on the ends will provide much greater balance and stability on challenging terrain. Using poles also reduce the level of stress on the knees and increases overall cardiovascular activity as it involves the use of your upper body. Yukon Charlie’s has developed a variety of three-piece telescoping poles that can be easily adjusted to meet the needs of the individual user.

Because I live in an area that has 6 months of winter every year, I have put literally hundreds of miles on my Yukon Charlie’s snowshoes. I have been very pleased with their performance and durability...you have completely won me over as a customer for life.

I have just started my snowshoe workout regimen with an aggressive program. I noticed a defect in the snowshoes I am using. I made a report to Yukon Charlie's about the defect. As fast as a slip and fall they responded and sent a new pair of snowshoes to me. Outstanding. Five Stars.

Spent part of this morning out on my Yukon Charlie snow shoes after we got 15+ inches of snow. They are great shoes!
